Does firefox create multiple restore sessions and save them?

Sometimes my computer crashes twice in a row, or things happen similar to this. When this happens, the "Restore Session" is not available on the history dropdown menu. Why is that? Is there a way to make this happen? No way can I go through the total history - thousands of websites and some don't say what they are when looking at the URL or title. I don't want to save all the time - this is a basic function that could easily be done automatically.

Is there a solution to this?

Firefox should not be crashing, if t is maybe that is something to investigate.

Firefox does try to save Restore Sessions, but if you close down incorrectly or crash frequently they are going to get messed up.

Always try to close correctly, which on an XP will be by using the File option (Newer Windows sytems have the quit option under the new Firefox Button)

Have a look at the article

If you are getting crashes see firefox crashes

You can also try to update to Firefox 13 to see if that fixes your issue.

Firefox 13.0.1 should be released later today, so you can check out the Mozilla website to see if that version has been released and avoid updating twice.

You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

John99,

Hi, thanks, I understand what you're saying. It's my computer that is crashing sometimes.

My computer crashes. I start up firefox again. Then I don't restore session in time and my computer crashes again.

It shouldn't be an issue just to store multiple session information in a file, so one can do a rollback. I'd think this is standard stuff, rather than have only one single attempt to restore a session.

cor-el,

Thanks, I up dated earlier today to the new version.
